So God created mankind, made the universe and science so that it would appear that He does not exist. Then he decides to punish those he created for not worshipping him.
Why does God want us to worship him? If you created a computer program with artifical intelligence, would you want it to worship you. If you created an ant farm, would you want the ants to worship you. No, its completely ridiculous for you to want to be worshipped.
However, in 5000 BC, when man created the idea of God, men desired to be worshipped. It was a sign of power, and men wanted power so kings and pharoahs made themselves gods that were worshiped by their subjects. Today, wanting to be worshipped is considered ridiculous, society has advanced beyond that stage. In a sense, man is more moral than God now.
